Hello Hntjohnson
When I first saw your problem reported, I thought someone was playing tricks because my high-frequency hearing is so bad that I cannot hear it. However, I now know that the problem is real, although not common, for a few MacBook users that have good hearing.
I have seen about a dozen MacBook users report this problem in Apple Discussions. I have not seen any reported real user fix. The problem you have appears to be a hardware issue for a relatively few MacBook users. You will need help from your Apple retailer or perhaps an Apple Authorized Service Provider to get your problem truly corrected.
In the following link, user obsidianspider reports that he addressed the his new MacBook's problem immediately with the Genius Bar, and Apple exchanged his MacBook for one that was worked acceptably.

Although not really a fix, in the following link, user milkbone reports that his MacBook's chirping is less noticeable when he adds lots of light to the scene.

You can decide which approach will be best for you, but, if you want a true solution rather than a workaround, the sooner you act on the problem with Apple, the better your chances of a speedy resolution.
